Re: Packing for the Fish-in
I just have to ask...how much of the stuff that you found went back into the truck?
I work from my truck everyday and it's like Christmas when I clean it out. Problem is, half the crap goes right back in there cuz I'll need it ...eventually!

Re: Packing for the Fish-in
Thats what I was doing today too. I didn't find nearly as much as you did DG .
My lost set of keys
A bundle of winning lottery tickets totaling $22.00 all more than a year old so they are usless now.
$4.35 Canadian tire money. still valid
A rotted dried up pear I forgot to eat.
1/2 box of kentucky fried chicken popcorn chicken that I forgot to eat.
The shoe my sister lost one night last year after a party. ( we looked high and low for that darned thing )
Two ball caps.
An Archie comic
Lots of odds and end tools.
Last years Idaho fishing licence and a copy of the Idaho regs.
My valid 2007 washington state fishing licence. Plus the parking pass.
And a Loonie
I did not find my midge box, which was the reason for the search in the first place. It was on the kitchen table where I left it.

I'm showing this post to my wife ...she thinks my garage is bad... :shock: :shock:
Re: Packing for the Fish-in
DG, RW here,
Ya know, that sounds about like my fly fishing vest the very first time I cleaned it out. That's back before I stopped wearing a vest. I'll have to add one thing to your list though. I found a petrified hard boiled egg too. I don't know what I weighed when I slipped that vest on, but it's probably why I have a bad back, a hernia and shortness of breath.

Re: Packing for the Fish-in
DG Where do you plan to use the Pontoon boat at Lowell?
I have one should I bring it?
Re: Packing for the Fish-in
I was thinking maybe floating the selway from the first bridge down to the confluence, along all that private land. I doubt it gets fished as much as the stuff upriver. Also thought someone might want to borrow it and float wherever.
I also have a week's drive home through MT and WY...
